Paul,
Float isn't coming soon. Therefore, you have to calculate your text
lengths and then manually create the wrap around. I've had some success
with this method, doing it professionally will require looking at the
font's xml file and actually calculating the word wraps and character
kerning.
Page width = X
||
+
|Line height = Y
+
Image width = W
+-+
| |
| | Image height = Z
+-+
Characters per unit length in line of text = V
# Lines of text = ceiling(Z / Y )
Characters / line = (X - W) * V
Create a two column table, one column holds the image, the other, some
text. How much text = ceiling( Z / Y ) * ( X - W) * V
